v2 Chapter 828: .Not just gold and silver coins (6/8)
In the evening, the outdoor temperature in Miami began to drop, but because of its proximity to the ocean, the temperature dropped very slowly, making people unconsciously experience the gentle atmosphere of a coastal city.
At this time, the seafood shop is not busy. The busiest is in the morning and afternoon. The chefs of various hotels come to inspect the seafood to purchase. During lunch and dinner, it is the turn of the restaurant and hotel to work.
Of course, business is still good. Many tourists who travel to Miami will come to the seafood store to buy some ingredients, and then go to the outside restaurant to do processing.
Butler is very capable, and the reputation of Daqin brand seafood has already gone out. To be honest, the seafood from Daqin fishery really tastes extraordinary, so even if the price is much higher than similar market prices, many people still like the seafood here. .
This has something to do with Americans’ consumption concepts. As long as the money in their hands allows, they will eat the best, not the most affordable.
When Qin Shiou went downstairs, he saw several people dressed as tourists watching seafood under the guidance of a shopping guide. Butler introduced him: "We mainly do business in high-end restaurants and hotels, and most of the casual purchases are middle class. , They are the second echelon of customers."
Miami’s spending power is very strong. Before leaving, Qin Shiou asked the toll collector how much turnover was today.
The toll collector said, "Forty-one thousand five thousand dollars, BOSS."
Butler introduced that the staff in the store knew that this young Chinese youth was their big boss.
Qin Shiou sighed: "It's terrible!"
Butler was dissatisfied, and said: "What's this? For a large hotel, it is very common for a day's seafood purchase to reach 20,000 yuan. This only means that we have done business with 20 hotels. Miami's high-end restaurants and hotels How many are there? More than two hundred! We only made one tenth."
Riding out of Ant Street, Qin Shiou began to see the charm of Miami, which is known as one of the top ten tourist cities in the world.
He originally thought he wanted to see some beauties on the beach and luxury cars with alcohol, but he saw a series of old houses.
Wooden door frames deformed due to disrepair, those dilapidated old steps in front of the door with bricks inside. There is also a wall full of messy graffiti. Many simple-dressed children and teenagers are cheering and playing with basketball and football. Although the city outside Ant Street is full of vitality, it is a bit dilapidated.
"This is not a slum. It seems that you have a misunderstanding of Miami." Butler controlled the steering wheel and teased Qin Shiou. He understood his inner thoughts from the expressions of his partners.
Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "Yes, man, I thought Miami had only high-rise buildings."
Butler laughed: "Where there is sunshine, there are shadows. There is no city in the United States. There are only high-rise buildings and no slums. Especially the richer and more luxurious cities, the more so."
Later Butler introduced Qin Shiou. This city is called Ant City, the old city of Miami. For people living near the sea, seafood is the worst food, so Ant Street used to be a business for the people at the bottom.
With the rapid economic development of Miami and the development of tourism, there are more tourists and the status of Ant Street has only come up. Unfortunately, this is not very helpful to Ant City.
Indeed. Qin Shiou took a closer look. Many houses here can still capture the traces of their former glory if they only look at the appearance of the structure or the scale of their land. Although these houses are dilapidated in appearance, they have a large footprint and a strong European and American appearance. The heaviness of the building.
Qin Shiou is curious about why there is no developer to build a CBD or develop residential housing in such a large old city?
Butler smiled and said: "Who dare to come? Do you know what the police station is equipped with? Mine armored vehicles! At night you will know how messy it is. Gunshots are the same as firecrackers. There are dozens of quick guns hidden in our shop. , Have you noticed. The shop assistants I recruited are all unruly boys?"
"I noticed. I thought you were a feature."
"NO, it's not a feature. They are all good fighters, many of them retreated just now. Only they can deter the surrounding villains."
Qin Shiou didn’t understand, "Then why did you choose the shop here?"
Soon he understood. As the car turned, a small dock appeared in his vision, and the car drove onto Linhai Avenue.
“It’s the most convenient place to transport seafood here. In addition, Ant Street has been glorious for two hundred years. Tourists from all over the world know that when they come to Miami to eat seafood, they go to Ant Street. So how can we not take advantage of it? The most important thing is here. The tax is low, haha, by opening a seafood shop here, we can save 40% of the tax!"
Butler laughed again. The Miami government wanted to develop Ant City, but it was too messy, and it was dominated by immigrants, and had a strong belief in opposition to the government.
Therefore, the City of Miami wants to develop this city in a subtle way. They provide various benefits, attract companies and factories to enter, and let the city grow by itself.
At present, this trick is somewhat effective, at least the roads in the city have become tidy.
Driving in the car, Butler said: "In Miami, dining is the ultimate way to understand and experience the different styles of the city. Come, let me take you to experience it slowly. This meal may last a long time, so my buddy , You have to be patient."
Qin Shiou smiled and said: "Then you don't have to worry, I just have patience."
This meal is indeed long enough. Butler first took Qin Shiou into a park, Massimo-Gomez Park in Little Havana. He ordered two cups of Cuban coffee and sat next to the flower bed while enjoying the sunset while drinking coffee.
"This is afternoon tea, man, this is not dinner yet." Butler laughed.
Qin Shiou raised his coffee cup and motioned to him: "Good coffee, great afternoon tea."
There is a small open-air restaurant called Juan Restaurant next to the park. Butler beckoned to the waiter to come over and ordered a boneless Long Island roast duck and roasted rabbit with red oil and sherry. This is the afternoon tea meal.
Qin Shiou laughed and said that he always thought afternoon tea would go with dessert, but he didn't expect it to go with barbecue. Butler asked him to taste it.
The two exquisite grilled meats at the back were served. They were Spanish-style. The fat was roasted, and they didn’t taste greasy at all, so the coffee was really good.
During , Qin Shiou called the fishermen. These guys were already awake, but ran to the strip-dancing bar to drink beer. When they answered the phone, they shouted and yelled, and they seemed to be refreshed.
In this way, Qin Shiou didn't ask them to come over for dinner. He knew that these guys would not have time to eat tonight. (To be continued~^~)
